First Overlanding Adventure in our new Ursa Minor Pop Up Camper

In this video Mama Goose and I finally get to use our new Ursa Minor pop up camper. We hit so many amazing sites on this trip that this is only Part 1. I got a chance to do some fly-fishing, we cooked some amazing meals & traveled over 1,500 miles on this overlanding adventure.
I also got a chance to test out our new Jackery 1000 that came with 2 X 100 watt solar panels. I was so busy fly-fishing, hiking and off-roading I didn't get a chance to talk about it in this video...but I'll be sure to do a review of it in a future video.
We hope you enjoy the video & are all healthy & safe!!!

Camp 1 : awesome area..great Video Cxxxx Sxxxxxx rd off 395 south of Gardnerville. East Fork River..

[@giftphupanee2107]

I love the video. Im just starting to get in the overland. I do enjoy your video. It is a lot of places that I don't even know it close by. Thanks again appreciated.

[@fredmontgomery9166]

Great Vid! Mama goose deserves a medal/trophy for putting up with you for 25 yrs!! 🤣🤣 Your “hints” to that river location were either nill, or cryptic! 🤣 I will find it, your drone footage gave me enough clues I think! Looking forward to shasta vid!! Also super stoked you all found that fire! Freakin A-holes that do that ruin it for us responsible campers!!!

[@395jnky]

Thanks Fred and I agree. Mama Goose is a Saint for putting up with me all these years. And that’s what I want to hear. People taking my clues and doing there own research. It really won’t take that long to figure it out. That’s the way I find a lot of my spots as well. Good luck and Happy Trails!

Congratulations on your 25th. My wife and I just started celebrating ours on June 1st with a two night stay in an Air BnB on the Oregon coast. Leaving in a few days for Montana for 3 weeks to research retirement properties, followed by another 3 weeks in the SE Oregon desert just exploring and chillaxing together.

Man I love what you guys do... I don't really have the equipment like what you have for overlanding but I got some camping stuff to camp with but I'm fixing to make a trip next month from July 9th through the 16th we are going to South dakota to the badlands national park and black hills national park.. seen some videos on KZbin about it it looks amazing and there are some trails I'm excited to test my ranger out on it.. . I've been working on her for the last few months getting it ready for this trip.. its not as bad ass as your jeep but she's got a 5inch suspension kit on it and I've done some cv axle upgrades along with ball joint up grades. Just a 2002 ford ranger xlt stepside ext cab.. even went as far as to have the body work done she is cancer free now and I had rino liner put on it.. love your guy's videos keep the camping trips coming.. take care out there...

[@tcervesa5987]

Good video... thanks for sharing Yup, it's that time of the season the dickheads ('richards') are out the force, good thing you found the campfire left burning. These are the reasons access to these areas will be closed, messing it up for those that try to enjoy places like that and do it right by leaving no trace.

The Bowman lake area is always super crowded this time of year. With a jeep like yours, try the Lakes Basin area in Plumas Ntl forest.

How was it with two people in the Ursa? Any issues if you need to get up at night when you have two sleeping on top? Do you still find the mattress comfortable? Great videos, can’t wait to see more adventures.

[@395jnky]

Its cozy with two people. Granted, mamagoose and I aren't that tall, so we do just fine. Definitely not the amount of room we had in the iKamper, but honestly for sleeping, we don't need that much room anyways if it's just the two of us. Mattress was comfy, but I still added some memory foam. Thanks for watching!

[@MrMyTye]

New subscriber here! Glad i found your channel. Just watched your Monache Meadows video and planning to make it out there this Father's day weekend. Will be running a leveled F150 4x4. Any tips for this time of the year?

Welcome aboard! You should be good. I haven't been in that area this year yet so its hard to say...But from what I recall you should be just fine...

[@yussefedwards]

That secret spice was a "home run"!! I see what you did there...

[@thegranddestination]

Congrats on the ursa minor! How do ypu like it? Any change in mpgs? Road noise? Does it make a rig get top heavy in up/downhill obstacles? Thanks!

[@395jnky]

Thank you. We love it. I actually have less weight now with this setup Vs. iKamper with the roof rack. MPG is pretty consistent around 14-15 mpg.

[@time4trains]

What kind of Saw that you are using to cut those logs?

[@tommyc3621]

Great video and congrats!! Do you miss the ikamper at all? You inspired me to put the exped in mine and soo glad I did. How is it going in and out from the inside as opposed to having the ladder outside I’m sure there’s some pros and cons. Have to say it looks awesome and I’m sure a little better security without the ladder.

[@395jnky]

Thanks Tommy. We don't miss the iKamper, simply because we are still in the ether of the new UM. We will see how things go, but so far I think we will be pretty pleased with the UM. Going in and out is made easier for my wife and I considering we aren't very tall. I'm 5'9" and she is...well shorter than I...so getting up there doesn't present any challenges.

[@tommyc3621]

@@395jnky Sounds and looks great. Is it a comfortable mattress to sleep on? Somewhere in between the stock Ikamper mattress and the Exped maybe?

Do you have a video showing how you installed the signal booster antena to the rear door of your jeep? I’ve been wanting one but really hadn’t found a method to attach it and just noticed it on your video

The question of where to put my food and trash while camping like this has been a problem. Do yall just leave your coolers and trash in your vehicle? I was looking at a bear bin but I can't put my food in there, it'll spoil. What do you recommend? Do yall have a special cooler?

Are you guys camping in Nevada in this video? You said you were just north of Gardnerville, off the 395 which is in Nevada just east of Lake Tahoe. So my prediction is Carson River.
